- Planning routes for deliveries and undertaking customer deliveries across the United Kingdom
- Managing trading finances, including cost reconciliations
- Managing customers and other stakeholders, often acting as the ‘face of the brand’
- Feeding back on operations and processes, adapting as the company grows
Skills Required:
- Passion for plants and design, with good core plant knowledge.
- Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office and ideally experience with Vectorworks and Adobe Suite.
- Organised, reliable and confident, with strong problem-solving and interpersonal skills.
- Full, clean driving licence.
